Dance with Discipline, Perform with Passion.
A Legacy of Excellence in Dance Education
Founded in 1979 by Director Kimberly Gavin Anderson, the Ballet Arts Center has been a pillar of dance education in the Greater St. Louis area for over 45 years. Dedicated to nurturing young dancers and fostering their artistic potential, we offer a comprehensive curriculum that blends classical ballet foundations with contemporary dance styles.
Classical Ballet: Foundation and Elegance
Rooted in the principles of classical ballet, we cultivate disciplined technique, graceful extensions, and precise artistry. Our instructors, all experienced professionals, guide students through rigorous training designed to refine their classical vocabulary and achieve technical proficiency.
Beyond the Basics: Exploration and Growth
Beyond traditional ballet, we offer vibrant and engaging classes in jazz and tap. These classes blend the joy of rhythmic movement with the technical expertise expected from the Ballet Arts Center. Students explore a variety of styles, encouraging them to develop their unique dance voices.
Nurturing Well-Rounded Artists
At Ballet Arts Center, our vision extends beyond simply teaching dance steps. We foster a supportive and inclusive environment where young dancers can develop their emotional intelligence, teamwork skills, and artistic intuition. We believe that the dance studio should be a place where young personalities can flourish and celebrate the joy of movement.
A Commitment to Community
As a testament to our commitment to the community, we proudly present the Young People's Performing Arts Theatre (YPPAT). Since 1981, this student-driven initiative has staged numerous semi-professional productions, engaging audiences with captivating performances of beloved ballets and original works.
